Oh wait lemme check is the main character a gangly chinless big-nosed goofus with unruly hair?

Hey AV Club, we want more Survivor coverage from Myles!

Trans, apparently, own a higher position on the oppression pyramid than women. Once you recognize that, all the rest makes sense. Biological Women should understand this, and act/vote accordingly

It’s been exclusively about transwomen because transmen enjoy no biological advantages againt cismale atheletes. Women’s sports was specifically created to allow women to be able to be winners, champions, and athletes too. To free them from having to compete against biological males who would dominate everything now…

That’s me, a zealot for logic and consistency! Which, evidently, you have neither. I have seen you make cogent points as well as truly thoughtless points, while half-sympathizing with some and simultaneously slinging barbs and accusations of transphobia at commenters who are clearly not transphobic. But you seem super…

It really, really sucks that you think anyone who sees nuance in this particular case is a transphobe. 

Men beat women on equal terms, that’s saying equal training, equal time invested etc. Men just win...There’s no misogynistic bent there, it’s just biological fact, nobody holds it against anyone else. It’s the reason we split leagues by genders, for fairness; you can’t expect us to alter millions of years of…

If Michael Phelps has changed genders in 2010 and then competed as a female in London, there would have been a huge outcry over that. The issue is trans women having been male for most their lives developed the body and muscle structure of a male and then transitioned into a female where that essentially means they…

The problem is if these girls took testesosterone to level the playing field that would be considered doping while these transgender girls produce the chemical in their bodies at a much higher rate than women do and they must take a drug every day to counteract it. If they don’t they heal faster and build muscle…

I am someone who was a very serious athlete for a Brief stretch of time and I continue to follow running pretty closely. Every time jezebel/former gawker media group reports on this topic I facepalm and start recommending articles from LetsRun, which is mostly a misogynistic cesspool but is also the only place to…

Because they don’t have an advantage dipshit. It’s a challenge for them if anything, something competitive people thrive on. Goddamn, how is this simple shit so beyond you people?

This is the most bureaucratic horseshit take imaginable. Shall we have all athletes sequenced prior to competition just to be sure?

You’d have to be real fucking stupid to not believe their birth sex to be a huge advantage in competitive sports. Like, really fucking stupid. Stupid enough to deny a huge statistically significant difference between their average physical abilities. Stupid enough to call that, oh, just another common advantage /…

Fuck it. Let’s just do away with “women’s” and “men’s” sports. Since apparently biology and science aren’t real anymore and gender is a “construct”. 

Seems like you're a little out of touch with your readers on this one, Jezabel. 

Your response is absurd. It is 100% unfair to expect female athletes to compete against other female athletes who were born male.Socially and emotionally gender can be fluid, but biologically it cannot. This is NOT transphobia, these are facts. Please stop using your “woke-ness” as an excuse to be umm... ignorant. The…

I had to read this twice to make sure this wasn’t satire.  Shannon, I actually feel sorry for you for your utter lack of critical thinking ability and straight up detachment from reality.  This is some really insane stuff. 

Except trans women still possess many of the physical advantages of male athletes. It’s simple biology. Acknowledging that fact does not constitute transphobia. It’s a murky area for sure, but I think female (by birth) athletes have a compelling case. The unfortunate part here is that they partnered with a despicable…

It sucks that it’s such a thorny issues but... testosterone is such a performance drug...

I hate to bring up Caster Semanya, but whenever she’s been on drugs to control the testosterone levels in her body, her advantage disappears...

And if testosterone was not this good, then the old russian bloc would not have ‘roided…

Well said. I agree that it comes down to the facts and the facts are that males excel at various athletics bc of their biological composition being different in areas. It just - IS. Hence the separation of male/female athletics. I do understand their frustration as they are competing with a naturally born male who was…
